 Several weeks ago, my parents and I went to our hometown to see our
relatives during the holiday. We knew that traveling was not recommended
during the pandemic. However, we assumed that seeing our relative for one day
would be safe.
About a week after my return home, I had symptoms that looked like a mild
cold. I had a slight cough and congestion. I didn’t want to take a COVID-19 test
because my parents didn’t feel the symptoms. I believed that I just had a
common cold. During that time, I couldn’t smell or taste anything. While brushing
my teeth in the morning, I found my toothpaste tasted like water.
Observing the symptoms, my father brought me to the hospital for a COVID-
19 test. After my test, I told myself that I didn’t need to worry but I couldn’t focus
on anything for several days. Then I knew the result when my father said “Your
COVID-19 test is positive”. I didn’t want to believe it. I had done everything right.
How could I possibly contaminated?
My condition got worse after that. I felt fortunate because the disease had
taken thousands of lives. I spent two weeks isolating myself inside my house,
spending my time by reading and watching plenty of movies. My parents
received negative test results, but the three of us continued to quarantine in the
house just to be safe.

ICE STORM

When warm and cold air meet, the resulting weather phenomena can be
an ice storm. Ice storms can be particularly dangerous because the freezing rain
makes an icy glaze on roads and other outdoor surfaces. Very heavy amounts of
ice brutally damage trees and weigh down electrical connection. In fact, the
weight of the ice can be increased by 30 times. The weight of the ice is made
worse if the wind speed is high. The areas with the highest frequency of freezing
rain occasions are the Midwest and Northeast.
The accumulations of ice are classified according to the impacts they
have. They are classified as nuisance, disruptive, and crippling. During a
nuisance ice storm event, less than ¼ of an inch of ice accumulates. Travel,
especially on roads with bridges, can be difficult. Disruptive ice storms are
typically an ice accumulation of ¼ of an inch to ½ of an inch. During these
storms there can be outages and sagging of breaking tree limbs. The most
dangerous ice storm is the crippling variety. This category of storm causes
widespread ice accumulations of over ½ inch, and may reach accumulations of
one inch. Due to severe damage to trees and electrical connection, electricity
may be interrupted for many days. This is especially dangerous for those who do
not have back-up power solutions and go for prolonged periods with no heat.
